Becky: Director of the Land O’Lakes Test Kitchen, a job she loves.

Becky has spent her entire career cooking and baking, which are also her favorite hobbies outside of work. For her, time spent in the kitchen not only relieves stress, but is lots of fun as well. Becky’s love for baking began as a child, standing on a chair next her mom, adding ingredients and mixing up dough.

Took to potluck Thanksgiving Dinner and they were a hit. Several people asked where I got the recipe and wanted a copy.

My family loves these cookies. They don't even wait for me to frost them, although the frosting is an excellent topper. From the adults to the 2 year old - these are a "Hit".

As the other ladies said, it takes time, but they are worth it. Has anyone tried to freeze them and will it hurt the flavor?

I made these cookies when family and friends came this weekend. Everyone loved them including some "picky" eaters and several people asked for the recipe. I agree with the first reviewer who said they were a little time consuming, but were totally worth it. I will make them again.

These cookies are wonderful! A little bit time consuming but 100% worth it. I used fresh grated orange peel and as long as I had the orange I went the extra step and used fresh squeezed orange juice as well.

After a long, busy day of work and errands, the last thing I want to do when I get home is cook a meal. I usually end up throwing together a quick salad, but, during these cold winter days, a cold salad just won’t cut it. Enter Slow Cooker Rustic Beef Stew. This recipe let me do minimal prep, leave for the day and come home to a hot and satisfying meal with minimal clean up.
